Step, step, step. Like a snow leopard, an admirable creature in Lenwe's mind, one that rather reminded him of himself. He had been doing this for way too long, a few weeks in fact, step, step, stepping in Vuurin's footprints. He was once following him for a reason, but the lack of sleep and his general light-headedness had led him to completely forget why, and now the only motivation for doing such a thing was because of a little challenge he had made with himself, around 83,862 steps ago. To fend off the overwhelming boredom of following some brainless git of a fire god, he had decided to see how long he could travel by just stepping in his footsteps. Quite a harmless activity for a mortal, but when you are the God of the Earth, and therefore technically own the footsteps (well that is how Lenwe saw it as), it can end up going on for longer than you first anticipated.
Unfortunately for Lenwe, this game was about to come to an abrupt end. Such an activity becomes considerably harder in a land that is as unpredictable as a geriatric's hunger pangs. Consequently, Lenwe did not notice the fairly large hole that appeared, seemingly from thin air, or in this case, inexplicably humid air, before him. "Oof! Damn, I was going pretty well with that." Clambering from the hole, Lenwe looked around at his surroundings properly for the first time, instead of his shoes, which is something you need to do when playing that particular game to the best of your ability. There wasn't much to see. To call it 'foggy' would be like calling Mao Zedong 'a bit unpleasant'. Lenwe could not see a thing, except a faint glow coming from the direction in which Vuurin's footprints. "Well well well, what do we have here? A cliché, perhaps?"
As Lenwe continued in Vuurin's footsteps, and rain started to fall. Electric rain. It was like Chinese water torture. Not painful at all, but every drop fizzled out all thought in your brain, leaving only a brief moment where one could think before fizzling out that thought too. Too much exposure to this would drive one beyond repair.
But at last, he had full view of what was occuring. Too full view. He quickly ducked down, but his exposure to their eyesight was very brief, and the two gods, Vuurin and Alivyn, the god of Illusions with the difficult-to-spell-name, were talking to each other, and therefore not looking in his direction. Lenwe quickly buried himself in the Earth, all except his eyes. "Time in reconnaissance is rarely wasted" so said someone who Nuu Lenwe had forgotten, but the words still rang true. Reconnaissance requires a lot less effort, too, pondered Lenwe happily, as he settled down to watch the events below him unfold.
